Tampere Improv Festival
The annual Tampere Improv Festival brings together improvisers of all levels from around Finland for a weekend of workshops, shows, and networking.
ACTION!
Tampere Improv Mini Festival 2026 is about doing, creating, and making things happen on stage. We celebrate bold choices, spontaneous storytelling, and the energy that makes scenes alive.
For two days, Tampere becomes a meeting place for improvisers, performers, teachers, and improv enthusiasts. Come to learn, play, perform, watch, meet new people, and get inspired by what happens when there is no script and anything can happen.
Workshops
All workshops take place on Saturday 17 October at Johanneksen koulu.
